Roadmap for the next 3 months

With the surprise election call in the U.K. by Theresa May, the following is the plan for the next 3 months. Note that this can change at any time.

(Late April, 2017) Complete the President Infinity update, adding direct popular vote and a two-round system, among other features, for the France 2017 presidential election on April 23rd and then (if there’s a run-off) May 7th.

(Late May, 2017) Update Prime Minister Infinity – U.K. for the 2017 election. The plan is for existing customers to receive an update to the game engine. Whether an official 2017 campaign will be included, or whether it will be a separate add-on hasn’t been decided yet.

(Late June, 2017) Update Congress Infinity, bringing it up to date with the latest Infinity game engine.

I emphasize that this is provisional. The dates in brackets above are best guesses.

1) I’m so excited for the addition of the French presidential election option

2) Even if the predictions are wildly off (hopefully they are spot on), I deeply appreciate the thoughtfulness behind giving us this roadmap. It really shows a commitment to great customer service. Thanks again!

And after that you will add the PR?
Becouse Maine will add it for their elections.

And one thing more, if you ad PR, it will be D´hont method or it will be Saint Lague or hare?
Here is an example of why its important the type of PR you add: In the 2015 Spanish General Election, in the district of Ávila, that elects 3 MPs, the PP had the 46.58% and 2 seats, the PSOE had 19.96% and 1 MP, and C´s 15.76% and no seats, with the D´hont method. But if the MP are assigned by the Saint Lague or Hare, the PP would have 1 seat, PSOE 1 seat, and C´s 1 seat. I prefear the D´hont method, becouse gives a little majority to the winner in votes.

I’m confused about the new turnout feature because I thought that the new favorability model would determine the turnout. In any event, I’m sure it’s not a bug but whenever I space for the next turn it skips the news page, which prevents me from spinning. Spacing is a lot less tedious than clicking the button every time.

I would also like to thank you for finally implementing the popular vote opinion, I’ve been hoping for it since 2010. It’s a great feature and will improve state level games tremendously.

Just an idea as there is a planned french scenario, will we be able to set when their ‘electoral silence’ is implemented? I know currently we can ban advertising from a number of days before the poll but can still barnstorm and give speeches.

There is also a blackout in the UK on election day and nothing can be reported on voting trends.or opinion polls or party political broadcasts.
